A BETTER HVAC SYSTEM
Toronto's top installer of Quilt ductless heat pumps.
Every Foundry installer has 10,000+ hours of experience with heat pumps, delivering quality that "jack of all trades" contractors can't match. And we partnered with Quilt to offer the world's most intuitive, advanced, and efficient heat pump system.
Here's everything you need to know about heat pumps—in just 4 minutes:
AS FEATURED IN:
We wrote the book on heat pumps, literally.
Foundry's co-founder, Drew Tozer, published Feel-Good Homes as an easy step for homeowners to understand heat pumps and electrification—it's on your time, at your pace, and it's free.
Heat pumps aren't new (they've been round for 170 years), but they're gaining popularity because of advancements in cold-weather performance.
Traditional contractors make heat pumps complicated, but they don't need to be. Feel-Good Homes cuts through the myths and misconceptions. Read this book and you'll know how to:
Identify comfort and health problems in your house
Understand the science behind those problems
Choose the right solution within your budget
Find a reliable contractor to do the work
Homeowners love heat pumps...
Why? Because the smallest gas furnace on its lowest setting is still too big for an average house. Right-sized heat pumps create comfortable, healthy, sustainable homes.
Comfort
Right-sized heat pumps deliver the perfect amount of heating and cooling without hot or cold spots.
Health
Heat pumps run steadily and filter continuously, helping reduce dust, allergens, and dirty air in your home.
Safety
Electric heat pumps don’t burn fuel—so there’s zero risk of carbon monoxide, gas leaks, or combustion risks.
Sustainability
Powered by low-carbon electricity in Ontario, heat pumps can reduce your emissions by up to 90%.
What's your heating load?
"Right-sized" HVAC improves home comfort. But to choose the right system, first you need to know how much heating and cooling your house needs—we use energy usage (gas consumption) to assess how your house performed in real-world conditions.
The Foundry Way
Heat pumps require more time and expertise to install properly, and Foundry techs are the leading heat pump installer in Canada. Don't settle for traditional contractors who split their time between every time of HVAC system.

Why choose a Quilt heat pump?
01
Modern Design
Unlike traditional ductless heat pumps that are bulky and unintuitive, Quilt heat pumps are small (less than 8 inches tall), beautiful, and the customizable cover is paintable and ready for wallpaper to match your interior design.
02
Best-in-Class Efficiency
Quilt is more efficient than anything available on the market today. Best-in-class efficiency helps homeowners save energy and money.
03
Intelligent, Silent, and Effective
Traditional ductless heat pump requires a remote in each room to control the unit. Quilt heat pumps use an integrated app and sleek Dial to make it easier to control temperatures throughout the house. It's also the smallest and quietest heat pump available.
Got questions? We've got answers.
Here's what homeowners ask before choosing Foundry—and how we deliver beyond the average quote.
What heat pump do I need for my house?
That depends entirely on your home—and getting it wrong is the #1 reason heat pumps underperform. Foundry runs performance-based heat load calculations using your actual gas bills, not guesswork or “rule-of-thumb” sizing. That means we recommend the right heat pump for comfort, efficiency, and year-round performance—backed by data, not sales pressure. The right heat pump depends on your goals, needs, and budget.
No generic recommendations. No upsells. Just the right option for your house.
Do you install other heat pump brands?
Yes, for ducted systems we installed Fujitsu, Mitsubishi, and Mits Air heat pumps. We work with homeowners to find the solution that fits their goals, needs, and budget.
There's an art to finding the right heat pump for every house.
Can I just replace my AC and keep my furnace?
You can—if you have a new furnace but your AC is due for replacement, you can install a hybrid heat pump to work with your existing furnace. The furnace will act as a backup heat source while the heat pump covers most (or all!) of your heating needs. The downside is that you'll need to do annual maintenance on the furnace because of the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning and gas leaks, and you'll continue paying a monthly fee to Enbridge whether you use the gas furnace or not.
It's possible—but it's often better to replace a furnace & AC at the same time.
Are premium heat pumps worth the extra cost?
Yes, if you want your heat pump to run quietly, efficiently, and reliably. We install premium cold-climate models from Japanese manufacturers like Mitsubishi and Fujitsu. Budget brands like Moovair offer good cold-weather performance but they're noisy and less reliable. Premium heat pumps offer superior build quality that lets them last longer and they're about twice as quiet as budget brands. And because we size them properly, they don't short-cycle or break down early.
Premium heat pumps last longer and they're twice as quiet as budget brands—so you get peace-of-mind and a quiet home.
Why is Foundry more expensive than the other quotes I got?
We hear this a lot—and we get it. Foundry is a premium contractor, and we charge more because we use better equipment, higher installation standards, and specialized labour. Traditional contractors have one heat pump specialist in the company, but the in-house installers have minimal heat pump experience. At Foundry, every tech has 10,000+ hours of experience with heat pumps—so we deliver quality that other contractors can't match.
We’re not the cheapest quote. But we're the quote you won’t regret.
The other guys compete on price—we compete on outcomes.
Do you help with rebate and low-interest loan programs?
Yes. Foundry is a registered contractor with all major rebate and loan programs in Ontario. We help you access rebates through the Home Renovation Savings (HRS) program or the Oil to Heat Pump Affordability (OHPA) and the interest-free loan (up to $40,000) through Canada Greener Homes. We'll connect you with an NRCan energy advisor to access the loan.
We’ll walk you through eligibility, application steps, and timing. And if we spot something that disqualifies you, we’ll tell you before you spend a dime. We even made a tool so you can check your rebate eligibility without digging through program websites: click here.
We know the system—and we’ll help you work it to your advantage.
Do you offer maintenance and service plans after installation?
No annual service contract needed. Heat pumps are incredibly low maintenance—just keep the filters clean and the outdoor unit clear of snow and debris. If something goes wrong, we’ve got you covered with our best-in-class warranties and dedicated service team. Most of our systems come with a 10-year parts, labour, and compressor warranty.
Traditional contractor offer service plans as a sales tool, but a properly installed heat pump doesn't require professional annual maintenance.
You don’t need a service plan. You need a system that’s installed properly, from the start.
